Webinar by Dr. Eoin Ó Conaire: An Evidence-Based Approach to Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears – Assessment, Diagnosis, and Management This webinar is accredited by Kwaliteitshuis Fysiotherapie from the KNGF and Keurmerk and PQK. April 9th at 8PM Patients diagnosed with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears represent a unique and challenging group. These individuals often experience persistent shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and difficulty raising their arm above shoulder height. Such impairments have a profound impact on their daily activities, work performance, and overall quality of life. Interestingly, while some patients respond remarkably well to targeted physiotherapy programs, regaining functional movement and achieving significant pain relief, others experience little to no improvement and may ultimately require surgical intervention, such as arthroplasty. Understanding the factors influencing these differing outcomes is crucial for effective clinical management and treatment planning. This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of Dr. Eoin O Conaire’s PhD journey, where he systematically reviewed the literature and conducted research to address the key clinical challenges in managing these cases. It offers actionable insights and practical recommendations designed to guide clinicians in their practice. Attendees will gain evidence-based knowledge to optimize care for patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The presentation covers a range of critical topics, including: Understanding Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: Anatomy, pathophysiology, and biomechanics. Radiological Features and Patient Characteristics: Identifying key diagnostic markers. Treatment Options: A comparison of surgical and non-surgical approaches, including their benefits, risks, and indications. Challenges in Clinical Decision-Making: Navigating complex cases and individualised treatment planning. Physiotherapy Programs: Detailed discussions on program content, evidence supporting efficacy, and real-world outcomes. Prognostic Factors for Success with Physiotherapy: Insights from an international Delphi study. Targeted Physiotherapy Assessments and Interventions: Practical demonstrations to enhance clinical skills. This webinar is an invaluable resource for physiotherapists, orthopaedic specialists, and healthcare professionals looking to refine their approach to treating massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. It bridges the gap between research and practice, providing clinicians with the tools to deliver personalized and effective care. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A session, enabling discussion of specific cases and challenges. https://lnkd.in/dUXW9Ygx

Pelvic complaints among cyclists are well-documented, affecting both men and women due to prolonged pressure on the perineum and pelvic region. Studies indicate that high-intensity cycling can lead to urological and sexual disorders, including pelvic pain, genital numbness, and recurrent urinary infections in women (Giraldo Gómez et al., 2024). Female cyclists, particularly those engaged in competitive or long-distance cycling, may experience conditions such as "bicyclist's vulva," a chronic unilateral swelling of the labium majus caused by repeated pressure and lymphatic dysfunction (Baeyens et al., 2002). Additionally, research highlights that female riders suffer from decreased genital sensation, potentially contributing to sexual dysfunction, though studies remain inconclusive in establishing a direct causal relationship (Partin et al., 2014). Ergonomic factors, such as saddle design and handlebar height, play a crucial role, as handlebars positioned lower than the saddle have been associated with increased perineal pressure and reduced genital sensation in women (Partin et al., 2012). While gender-specific cycling equipment may help mitigate some of these risks, more research is needed to develop effective preventive strategies and interventions. A specialized pelvic health physiotherapist can play a crucial role in addressing cycling-related pelvic complaints by assessing musculoskeletal, neurological, and postural factors contributing to pain, numbness, and dysfunction. They can provide individualized interventions, including postural and bike fit adjustments to optimize saddle positioning, handlebar height, and overall cycling ergonomics, reducing perineal pressure. Pelvic floor muscle training can help cyclists experiencing pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, or sexual dysfunction by improving strength, flexibility, and coordination of these muscles. Additionally, manual therapy and soft tissue release techniques may be used to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce nerve compression in the perineal region. Physiotherapists can also employ nerve mobilization techniques to address pudendal nerve entrapment, which is a common issue in cyclists experiencing numbness or burning sensations. Education on saddle choice and cycling hygiene is essential, especially for female cyclists prone to conditions like "bicyclist's vulva," as proper gear and positioning can prevent lymphatic dysfunction. Lastly, physiotherapists may incorporate core and hip stability exercises to improve overall pelvic alignment and reduce excessive loading on sensitive areas.
